Assorted Calissons de Provence by Arnaud Soubeyran

Calissons are a traditional French candy that is similar to marzipan, but with a fruitier flavor.

Soubeyran calissons are produced according to a special recipe from Provence, France. The sweet, paste-like dough is made with a mixture of candied fruits (melon, clementine, and orange), pistachios, crushed almonds, and a handful of bitter almonds to give character. They are then topped with a thin layer of royal icing.
